Boker Boxer Fixed Blade Knife

The Boker Boxer Fixed Knife is a fixed-blade knife featuring a classic-Mediterranean blade shape with a unique flare. This beautiful, functional knife was designed by Raphael Durand, a renowned French custom  knifemaker from Thiers. The blade is a dark stonewashed, ice-hardened N690 steel with an elegant ricasso on the back. (A ricasso is the unsharpened portion of a blade next to the handle.) The handle of the Boker Boxer Fixed is made from finely textured canvas Micarta. While it is initially light in color, it darkens over time with exposure to UV radiation. A reinforced carbon fiber lanyard hole and the included leather sheath make the Boker Boxed Fixed easy to carry every day.

This tree was incorporated into the Boker's first logo in the 1600s, and has remained an important brand symbol. Over the years, the Boker family expanded their business and moved to Solingen, the City of Blades, to begin the now-famous knife line with cutlery expert Hermann Heuser. In honor of the majestic tree from their first factory, Boker was originally known as Tree Brand, and many still refer to it by this name.
